I'm not looking forward to finding an apartment in the future. It's gonna take an eternity due to expenses and I probably won't be able to take my dog with me.
I can afford it and everything. I just don't feel like going through everything

I wanna watch GOT but I'm embroiled mid-thought in drawing frames and my computer is being uncooperative

over 400 layers in the document :O

What program are you animating with?

Someone help me with apartment shopping

I used Trulia when researching apartments. They have a lot of data for comparisons, including a crime map to see if the neighborhood is safe.

Photoslop :O

This is the dude I'm doing frames for atm. I'm being a bit more ambitious with the quality on this guy and he has a ton of stupid layers for pieces of skin and stuff so I can get all kinds of little secondary and tertiary motions that make it look.. uhh.. juicier?

It's pretty much all this thread is about now.



I'm sharing similar emotions right now. My apartment is a mess, but also has jack shit inside it since all of the furniture is gone. I got back from dropping my cat off at my dad's for him to take care of and just sat on the floor drinking gin and tonics and watching videos on my laptop. Mess.

Are you moving Colombia -> Pittsburgh, or are you already in the States?
I don't know if that sounds better or worse than what my place looks like now. :p At least you have something nice to drink! I ran out of coke.

I've been in the states since I was there. Currently in NYC. So it's not too far away. But far enough that my boyfriend has been following me around while packing with the biggest frown. :c

I used Trulia as well but in NYC. And if I find like an apartment building or real estate company on there, I also start keeping track of their own listings.

If you want a buddy to go look at apartments with you... :D I love looking at apartments and floor plans.

I think I used that a bit. I've been using a lot of Zillow and craigslist and a few other sites.
I know the area I want. Just need to contact a few places and get appointments which will be a mess of during the day on weekdays

Through the timeline thing? You can check the RAM allowance through edit > prefs > performance. Photoshop seems like a textbook example where more RAM is better.

Btw that baddie looks fantastic. I like how it gets slightly darker when it hunkers down.

THanks =D

Yeah I plan to open it up tonight or tomorrow and put the ram in. It's just a pain in the ass to get to because of all the shit that's plugged into it and draped all over it.

I animate using Photoshop's built in timeline, yeah. I tend to draw a key frame (or sometimes several key frames, depending on the character) that need to be animated from and then cut them up into pieces and manipulate them frame by frame.

To get the subtle post effects like the lighting moving I do that late in the process, in this case I added a copy of each layer on top of itself, blurred, and blended in with varying % of color burn.

I think I could do a lot more if I got into after effects but I keep putting off learning the program.

It's a hot mess, haha. Moving is exhausting. Bummer that you have to move away from your boyfriend though :( I hope your move goes well without any major issues.
 
No fucking way

So I'm watching Preacher and think the waitress woman is pretty cute, and decide to look her up

She's from Brighton

We went to the same 6th form college

This is so cool. All of that hard work you pour into this game keeps showing itself. Really good stuff. Do you ever record your workflow while animating or w/e?

The only thing I know how to do in AE is make gifs. And motion tracking...for gifs.

So two votes for trulia :p
I've been avoiding apartment buildings since I want to be in a house but I'm definitely doing that thing with the companies

I currently have two potential roommates I'm liking with so I'm probably set but if that doesn't happen I might need someone. Sorta was hoping to have an apartment before I had to work on my social confidence tho :p

Also Zillow actually owns Trulia. So three votes?

I wonder if they share the same databases. They seem to have a bit different criteria (and iirc transportation and crime and stuff are on trulia but not Zillow)

I'll have to check the same houses on both sites and see the difference

Report back if you find any difference or lack thereof. All I know is that Zillow bought out Trulia last year, but they may still be operating semi-independently.
 
I used to have full on white blonde hair until I was 11 or so.



I have no idea why so many women dislike the 'mousey' blonde colour.

Blondeboys unite!

Also I just knocked a board game off the stool it was on and woke my mum up. It's half 4 in the morning. She wasn't too happy about that >_>

Honestly, I hope I never have to buy a house. I just want to buy an apartment in the city or a condo or something.

What I read is that management wants to keep them distinct rather than just merging them. No idea what extent they're doing that to

You wish you had naturally blonde hair so you could cosplay SS Vegeta or some shit.

Go to sleep.

I got so much of that tonight. I'll post pics in a little bit.

I believe I complimented you on it when you posted a pic form your last trip. Going back to blue or looking for a change?

Soooo there's one thing with my potential roommates. It's probably a good idea for the long term if I come out to them. ...but I don't really want to go through that. Honestly that's probably holding me back a bit too much from getting stuff done

I'm pretty sure Lucian could headbutt the air and you'd feel it.

Are you saying she has a big head, or are you trying to suggest I'm weak?

I assume you don't know these people?

Also if you suspect then having a problem with your lifestyle then why would you want to room with them in the first place?
